I was by the Glades last weekend and was told by guy there who works for parks water dept that EVERY single python the state had with a chip in it was dead.
He has worked there 15 yrs and knows whats going on there .

They think 80% min are dead in the states feral population. As of now they think the one's that may have lived are due to moving to warm water like croc water Turkey nuke power plant and few other limited areas .

So much for the theory that they could expand to even N.Florida and live never mind in northern states..

2 weeks of cold here in Miami has been like a nuke bomb to these snakes imagine months of cold further north.


I am not to sure that those who want to ban exotic pets and ban pythons,snakes as pets not to mention those who make a living off state python programs want the results published.

I dont own pythons but going to Glades a lot and knowing people who work there . I always found this python hysteria absurd and they all agree.
